It's been a long time.

In the Cangsong Palace, the head of Jintai stood at the end of the main hall with a solemn expression, and there were many disciples standing on both sides of the door in front of him, and almost all the people with heads and faces in the door had arrived. Zhao Zheng was naturally among the crowd.

"The blessing of the ancestors of the Tuolie Sect, the grievances and grievances that this sect has been entangled with the Three Swords Sect for eight years have finally come to an end. I cleared my name and found out the truth of the incident. Now that the grievances between us and the Three Swords Sect have been completely written off, I hope that when you meet the people of the Three Swords Sect in the future, you must treat them with courtesy, and if they need help in anything, remember to lend a hand. With the help of this sect, the Three Swords Sect has now regained stability and elected a new sect master, hoping that after these things, the Three Swords Sect can usher in a new atmosphere...... "Jin Tai talked eloquently, talking about the affairs of the two sects of the Three Swords Sect and the Taishan Sect.

Halfway through the conversation, Jin Tai changed his words and turned his gaze to Zhao Zheng, who was in the crowd, with a subtle smile on his face, and said: "The reason why the grievances between us and the Three Swords Sect can be successfully resolved is thanks to Zhao Zheng's help. The ins and outs of the whole incident were all investigated by him alone, which can be said to be a great contribution. In addition, he also helped me announce the truth in public, so that the truth was revealed to the world, and when he was still fighting, he captured the culprit Zhuo Jiangyue, which is also a great credit. The great merits he made helped the Taishan faction a lot, so I decided to give him a first-class meritorious service. ”

When the truth was announced, in fact, it was okay to find someone else to announce it, and the reason why Jin Tai asked Zhao Zheng to announce it was to give this credit to Zhao Zheng smoothly. In this way, Zhao Zheng's credit is even greater, enough to deserve a first-class merit.

There is only one word difference between first-class merit and second-class merit, but there is a fundamental difference in surname, and only those who help the entire sect to overcome great difficulties, or bring great benefits to the entire sect, can obtain first-class merit. For so many years, it has been a long time since anyone has obtained first-class merit, and Zhao Zheng is the first time in the world.

Zhao Zheng won the first-class merit this time, which can be said to be well deserved, no one raised objections, and everyone congratulated one after another. Zhao Zheng, who is the party concerned, looked even more happy, the corners of his mouth lifted two arcs, and his eyes were also radiant. The first-class merit is not just a false name, but also a reward with a real surname, and he knows that the main event is still to come, so he can't help but look forward to it.

Sure enough, after the main hall was quiet again, Jin Tai continued: "In order to reward Zhao Zheng for his exploits this time, the head of this sect decided to reward him with the saliva fragrant white jade fruit that had just grown to maturity, help him improve his cultivation, and wash the marrow and cut his hair. ”

As soon as this statement came out, it caused an even bigger sensation, which exceeded most people's expectations.

"Oh my God! The head of the sect actually wanted to give the saliva white jade fruit to Zhao Zheng, which was the most precious spiritual fruit in the sect! ”

"Zhao Zheng is really blessed, if he eats that saliva fragrant white jade fruit, his cultivation will definitely improve by leaps and bounds, and he may even jump to the Eight Heavens realm."

"It's no wonder that he has made such a big contribution, and of course the head of the family will give him a big reward."

Everyone talked about it, but no one had any objections, but they just looked at Zhao Zheng's eyes with a little more naked envy. From the Seventh Heaven to the Eighth Heaven, it would take several years or even more than ten years for ordinary people, even if it was an absolute genius, plus the assistance of various elixirs, it would take about two or three years. But if there is a saliva white jade fruit, this time will be greatly reduced, so that the martial artist can reach the Eight Heavens directly in one fell swoop!

The saliva white jade fruit has such a magical effect, no wonder those people envy Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng's eyes changed, he came out of the crowd, stood in the center of the main hall, and said to Jin Taishi: "Thank you for the generous gift of the master, after I get this fruit, I will make persistent efforts to serve the sect well." ”

"Well, I value you very much, don't let me down what I expect." Jin Tai nodded with a smile, "The saliva fragrant white jade fruit is too precious, in order to avoid accidents, I can't give it to you now." Come back to me when you're going to take the saliva white jade fruit, and then I'll give it to you and protect the Dharma for you while you're taking it. ”

"Yes!" Zhao Zhengzhong replied angrily.

"Alright, you go down. I have something else to say. Kim Tae-do.

Zhao Zheng retreated into the crowd, and the people around him immediately rushed up and congratulated him for the second time.

Jin Tai then talked about how to deal with Feng Ming, a traitor, not long ago, on the day of the incident, the Taishan faction had pulled Feng Ming, a traitor, out of the Three Swords Sect, and was now imprisoned in the Dungeon of the Taishan Sect. Kim Tae would like to ask for everyone's opinions and see what they think. For people like Feng Ming, everyone naturally hates them to the bone, and everyone agrees with Feng Ming's execution. Seeing that there was no objection, Kim Tae agreed to this method and set a date for the execution of Feng Ming.

After the grievances and grievances between the two factions were resolved, the remaining problems were not small, and Jin Tai put these things on the surface one by one and talked about them for a long, long time.

It wasn't until noon that everything was finally settled, and Kim Tae announced the disbandment and let everyone go back to rest.

In the process of leaving the main hall, people kept coming over to say hello to Zhao Zheng. Obtaining the spirit fruit of saliva white jade fruit can be regarded as a great joy for any martial artist. In this incident, Zhao Zheng is definitely the biggest winner and has gained a lot.

It was not easy for Zhao to get rid of these people, he breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to Chaoyang Ju alone. After he was the only one left, it was inevitable that his heart would fluctuate and he remembered many, many things.

Expose the truth and resolve the grievances between the two sects. Establish first-class merit and obtain saliva white jade fruit.

These were the two main purposes for Zhao Zheng to come to the Taishan faction, and now both of these purposes have been achieved. Next, it's time to pick the right time to leave the Tarzan faction.

After taking the saliva fragrant white jade fruit, if nothing else, he should be able to soar all the way up and directly impact the Eight Heavens realm. In this way, his strength will be greatly improved, and he will truly enter the ranks of second-rate masters.

With strength, you can have the capital to be a chivalrous man. In the past, he had a lot of things he wanted to manage but couldn't manage, but now he has the strength to finally meddle in these things unscrupulously. He can do things according to his own likes and dislikes, and use his heart as a yardstick to measure what should be managed and what should not be managed.

In this way, he will be one step closer to his dream.

When it comes to what he wants to take care of and what he should do, there are two main things in front of him now, the first thing is to expose the face of Ye Zhiqiu, a hypocrite, and let the people in the rivers and lakes know what kind of person Ye Zhiqiu is, tear off the disguise of the so-called hero, and expose the rotten rot inside. Another thing is to set off to the top of Snow Lotus Mountain to make an appointment, fulfill the previous agreement with Zheng Wouji, and compete with him.

In both cases, the time is not very tight, but it is not loose either.

Ye Zhiqiu searched for women everywhere to practice evil skills for himself, and hid these women in a place called Yueyue Palace. If he can't be eliminated as soon as possible, there will definitely be more innocent women killed, so there is no delay.

Zheng Wou-Ki's date for the fight is three years, and now there is less than a year left before this date, and it is also very urgent.

In contrast, Zhao Zheng tended to clean up Ye Zhiqiu, a hypocrite, first to avoid more innocent women from being killed. Now he is definitely inferior to Ye Zhiqiu in strength, but he already has the powerful backer of the Taishan faction, as long as he can come up with enough evidence, he can use the power of the Taishan faction to deal with Ye Zhiqiu.

After thinking about it, Zhao Zheng set the next goal, planning to collect evidence of Ye Zhiqiu's practice of evil skills after leaving the Taishan faction, and strive to eradicate this hypocrite as soon as possible.

Just when Zhao Zheng was making a decision, a sound of footsteps came from behind him, and he walked very quickly. He was stunned for a moment, gathered his thoughts, glanced back, and found that the person who came over turned out to be Suo Jinlong. Wang Wei.

Wang Wei is the third official of the dynasty, the commander of the dignified brocade guard, who is responsible for catching thieves and thieves, and is in charge of some big and important cases, ordinary petty theft, he will not interfere. In terms of martial arts, he has the Ten Heavens realm, he is a first-class master, and he is the best at using chains, and he can use chains against enemies to exert them to his divine power.

This person is thin and capable, his cheeks are slightly sunken, but his eyes are like electricity, and he is bright. He said that he was not wearing official clothes, but civilian clothes, and a golden chain hung around his waist, which was his specialty weapon, the "Golden Dragon Lock".

As soon as he saw Zhao Zheng turn his head, Wang Wei immediately shouted: "Little brother, you stay for the time being, I have something to say to you." ”

Zhao Zheng stopped as he said, muttering in his heart, figuring out Wang Wei's intentions.

Wang Wei walked quickly to Zhao Zheng, hugged his fists and said with a smile: "You can help the Taishan faction see through the tricks of the Zhuo family's father and son, and get the reward of the head of Jintai, it is really gratifying, the old brother is here to say hello to you." ”

"Rejoice, rejoice." Zhao Zhengdao.

"I don't know if the little brother has time, if you have time, I want to invite you to my place to talk about it."

"If you have time, please lead the way in front of Commander Wang." Zhao Zheng saw that Wang Wei had something important to say, so he didn't refuse.

"You are not a person in the officialdom, and this is not the palace of the imperial court, so you don't need to call me any commander, just call me Brother Wang." Wang Wei said with a smile.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

"You call me Brother Wang, I'll be cheeky and call you Brother Zhao, don't you mind?"

"Of course I don't mind, it's my pleasure." Zhao Zheng said happily. He knows Wang Wei very well as a person, knows that this person is jealous and hateful, the same on the outside and on the inside, has caught many thieves, and is a respectable person, and he is happy to make friends with him.

Wang Wei led the way in front, took Zhao Zheng to his temporary residence in Taishan, and asked a junior disciple to help make a pot of hot tea.

When they arrived at the house, the two of them sat down, and Zhao Zhengdao: "If there is anything in Brother Wang, just say it directly, if there is a place for me, I will do my best." ”

"Looks like you've guessed something, and I do have something to ask you for. I heard the head of Jin Tai say that you alone investigated the unsolved case between the Taishan faction and the Three Swords Sect, yes and no? Wang Wei Zhengse asked.

"Yes, I found out, but not alone, and my two friends helped me a lot."

"Who are the two friends you're talking about?"

"It's Ren Qianqiu and Wang Er."

Wang Wei showed a thoughtful look, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "Forgive me for being lonely and unheard, I have never heard of the names of these two masters. ”

"Hehe, it's not that you're lonely, it's that the two of them aren't famous. They're not celebrities, they're just my friends. Zhao Zheng said with a smile.

"I see, in this way, the reason why I was able to find out this unsolved case is mainly due to you."

"Yes." Zhao Zheng nodded, not modest.

"As we all know, the longer the case drags on, the more difficult it is to solve, I have been a brocade guard for so many years, and I have seen many unsolved cases that have been deposited for many years and have not been clarified. You can find out the unsolved case eight years ago, it's really powerful, even I, the commander of the brocade guard, have to admire. ”

"Brother Wang praised it falsely, I should admire you, which of the big and important cases you have solved is not famous, I admire you very much."

"As a brocade guard, it is my duty to solve the case, and I have to work hard. Moreover, although the cases I solved were very important, they were not as complicated as the case you solved, and in all fairness, if I were to investigate this matter, I am afraid that I would have failed ninety percent. Who would have thought that someone like Zhuo Ming would cheat to death in order to deceive the world. Wang Wei showed a strong look of curiosity, "Brother Zhao, can you tell me about the process of solving the case?" ”

This question stumped Zhao Zheng, although he solved the case and the matter was investigated by him, but it was all due to the memory of his previous life. If he is allowed to find out about this case without a clue, it is simply a fantasy. Regarding Wang Wei's question, even if he wanted to, he couldn't answer it, so he could only ask with a wry smile: "Brother Wang, how did you find out all the cases you solved?" ”

"Open your mouth to ask, look with your heart, and look for it with your hands." Wang Wei replied simply.

"The way I found out this unsolved case was to open my mouth to ask, look carefully, and find it with my hands, but there is actually nothing to say." Zhao Zheng coincidentally covered up and used Wang Wei's answer to deal with Wang Wei's question.

"Hehe, that's right, there are no cases in the world that are not investigated like this. In that case, I won't ask any more. Wang Wei smiled and changed the conversation, "Okay, let's not talk about it, I'll tell you the right topic." I came here this time to discuss something with you, I have encountered a difficult case at hand, are you interested in helping me investigate this case together? ”

"You came to me to ask me to help investigate the case?"

"Yes, exactly."

"What case is being investigated?"

"Investigate a missing case!" Wang Wei restrained his smile and said seriously, "Recently, many women have disappeared in Nangan Province, and the missing ones are all quite beautiful women. Originally, as my identity, I should not have intervened in ordinary disappearance cases, but this case has too many people, as many as a dozen people, including some women from large families, and the impact is quite serious. When I was looking through the dossier, I found a serious problem. Over the years, a large number of women have disappeared in Nangan Province, and this situation occurs every once in a while. I suspect that these cases were committed by a single person who would commit crimes every once in a while, catching beautiful women from all over the province. As for his purpose in doing this, it was probably to sell these women to Qinglou, or maybe they were arrested for his own pleasure. ”

"Disappearance case...... Zhao Zheng frowned when he heard this, and a solemn look also appeared on his face. He was planning to deal with Ye Zhiqiu, because Ye Zhiqiu's cultivation of evil skills required him to arrest women for remediation, which was really an unforgivable crime. Judging from Wang Wei's account, it seems that a large number of women have disappeared recently, which is likely to be related to Ye Zhiqiu, and those women are likely to have been captured by Ye Zhiqiu.

If it were another case, Zhao Zheng might have resigned for various reasons, but this disappearance case is likely to be the same as his goal, even if it is inconsistent, if he can catch a silver thief and eradicate a scourge for the world, it is also a good thing.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng nodded and said, "Okay." If Brother Wang is short of manpower, I am willing to talk about doing my best, before and after the saddle, you can just give orders. ”

"Brother Zhao is really fast-talking, you can find out the unsolved case of Zhuo Ming's fraudulent death, it can be seen that he is also a cautious person, with your help in the investigation, you will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort." I just don't know when you will be able to go down the mountain with me to investigate the case? Wang Weixi asked.

"This matter is urgent, and I will hurry up and leave. Tomorrow I will go to the head of Jintai and ask him to give me the saliva white jade fruit, and after I have eaten this fruit and digested it thoroughly, I will go down the mountain with you to investigate the case. In this way, it will not take more than two days at most. If you can't wait, you can go first, I'll finish the chores, and then catch up. Zhao Zheng thought for a moment and replied.

"I can afford to wait for two days. This case has already been taken over by other Jinyi guards, and they are working hard to investigate, and they are not completely counting on you and me to investigate, so it doesn't hurt if we set off in two days. Wang Wei said.

"Yes, that's good. I hope I can help this time and get out the silver* thief who took the woman away. Zhao Zheng's eyes burned.

This matter was settled, and Wang Wei then told the news he had just gotten, including the identity of the missing woman, her location, and several suspicious candidates. Zhao Zheng frowned tightly and wrote down these messages firmly so that he could scrutinize them later.

After talking, Zhao Zheng said goodbye to Wang Wei and went back to Chaoyangju to take care of his own affairs.

Walking on the road, Zhao Zheng clenched his fists, his eyes flashed, and he secretly said in his heart: "Ye Zhiqiu, could these women be captured by you, a hypocrite?" (To be continued.) )
